The Goebbels diaries 1939-1941

Book • 1948
The Goebbels Diaries, 1939-1941, offer a unique glimpse into the life and thoughts of Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

The diaries, which were initially written by hand until 1941 and then dictated to aides, include descriptions of military situations, personal comments, and behind-the-scenes activities.

They reflect Goebbels' role in the Nazi propaganda machine and his views on various events, including the Battle of Britain and the German Foreign Office.

However, it is important to note that these diaries were intended for publication and may not reflect Goebbels' deepest thoughts, but rather his public persona.

The diaries were discovered in Soviet-era archives in 1992 and have since been translated and published, providing valuable historical insight despite some editorial limitations.
